Fantastic team! Our request was answered promptly and professionally. The electrician sent to our home, Tom, was efficient, friendly and great communicator. I also appreciated the tidiness at the work site after finishing and during the work. We are satisfied with the work carried out- moving and installing tricky PowerPoints in a kitchen and tiled bathroom. I will definitely be using this team again.

Epic service from the Livewire Electrical team! We had an urgent breaker issue on a switchboard, logged the job at short notice and they had it attended to and sorted within 2 hours. Fast, professional and easy to deal with from start to finish. Really appreciate the quick turnaround when we needed it. Highly recommend the Livewire team!

Jared and Tom were very friendly and efficient. Their workmanship was excellent. They were prompt on arrival, tidy with tools and equipment. They then tested the work they had done and did not leave the property until they, and myself, were satisfied that the job was to a high standard and working perfectly.

Great service for lighting upgrade in the office. From the first point of contact I found the staff efficient, and clearly explained all options. The electrician that attended was professional, friendly, worked quickly and left no mess at all. Very satified with the job, will definately use again.

Absolutely A+ was my experience with Annette and the team. Had house electrical issues, Vector kept telling us it was our issue to sort...Livewire listened and diagnosed over the phone, pointed us back to Vector to sort it. Saved us a call out and no charge for advice. Awesome service and will be our first port of call next time. Thanks again

Thank you livewire electrical. The office team were chipper and helpful on the phone. Appointment was set to suit my schedule. Tom, the sparky, was prompt. He did a great job to fix all our problems. He was polite, cheerful and fixed everything in no time. Pricing is very reasonable. I'd like to give bonus points from the dog to Tom. She appreciated to be able to spectate your work 😁

FAQs

Got questions? We've answered the most common ones here.

Is Livewire a certified Legrand data cabling installer?

Yes. Livewire holds Legrand certification for data cabling installation, meeting Legrand's own standard for structured cabling. This is particularly relevant for school data and fibre infrastructure, where consistent, verifiable installation quality matters, and it carries a 25 year warranty on Legrand cabling works.

How is electrical fault damage handled on an active school site?

A thorough site investigation and fault test comes first, so the full scope is understood before work starts. Safety fencing and access windows are coordinated with the school throughout, and the school is kept informed at every stage.

What is involved in wiring a relocatable classroom?

Relocatable classroom installs typically involve a new submains supply from the nearest available distribution board, fibre or data cabling back to the school's server room, and connection of heat pump units, all tested, livened and certified before handover.

Can electrical work be scheduled around school holidays and term time?

Yes. School projects are planned around confirmed working hours, holiday windows and site access restrictions, with additional team members brought in where needed to complete work within a tight school-holiday timeframe.

Does Livewire have experience with Ministry of Education projects?

Yes. Livewire specialises in Ministry of Education school maintenance and upgrades, and holds an MOE-endorsed design for Emergency Call-Point installations in high dependency units, achieved through direct collaboration with the Ministry's Chief Advisor of Electrical Services. Livewire also holds Legrand certification for data cabling installation, meeting the manufacturer's own standard for structured cabling on MOE projects, with a 25 year warranty on Legrand data cabling works.
